Delighted to present work Genome Medicine showing smoking-related immune impairment in airway epithelium is persisting lung cancer risk. Great collaboration Roland Schwarz, De Biase, Massip, Bruce Ponder Cancer Research UK Royal Papworth Hospital NHS FT 💙 Royal Papworth Hospital Research Dept. CRUK Cambridge Centre. Link 👇

APF is happy to announce the investment in 2 research fellows! Dr Kevin Bin Liu from Imperial College London & Dr Jenny dickens from Cambridge University have been awarded £600k to further unravel the genetics of PF, which'll help to identify new & better treatments: bit.ly/3PKLKuP

Great translational team project. Thanks to all donors, surgical, pathology and laboratory teams. For better understanding of origins of pleural disease.

Great to represent UKLCC supporting Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation talking to MPs about importance of #earlydetection of lung cancer. Survival rates are improving but much more to be done!

Great to have this paper on transcriptomic analysis of human pleura accepted by ERJ. Thank you to all patients who donated samples through Royal Papworth Hospital Research Dept. tissue bank MesobanK - Mesothelioma Tissue Bank CRUK Cambridge Centre: Thoracic Cancer

We have a great programme of international speakers covering discovery through translation to clinical application in lung cancer and mesothelioma. If you can, please join us for what will be a really thought, provoking and insightful day.

Very grateful to Charles Swanton, UCL Cancer Institute, funders, colleagues and most importantly patients and their families for their support with this study.

.Eric Lim presents MARS2. Undoubted reduced survival with surgery (EPD) n=355. 28% increased risk of death. No difference due to chemo impact. QOL worse for surgery. Time to dismiss the concept of resectability #WCLC23 IASLC #mesothelioma

Great start to the #WCLC23 . British Airways upgraded me to a flatbed, unfortunately in the Holiday Inn Express due to 22 hour delay. Hopefully Sanjay Popat David Baldwin Dr Riyaz Shah Tom Newsom-Davis will reach #Singapore soon!

More on the recent review published by frankmccaughan , Robert Rintoul and others, about studies in lung cancer in never smokers.

Really pleased to be joining this fantastic team with Tim Witney, Bioinspired Materials lab, Bartek Papiez to look at treatment response to #lungcancer using AI and novel imaging approaches. A new research departure for me! Medical Research Council

We set up MesobanK - Mesothelioma Tissue Bank in 2014 to collect biospecimens to facilitate mesothelioma research with funding from British Lung Foundation and Victor Dahdaleh. Great to see the research lifecycle completing, with work being presented and published by #coulsonlab University of Liverpool Thanks to all patients.

Great to have Asthma + Lung UK Victor Dahdaleh fellow, Niki Veale presenting work on single cell transcriptome of healthy pleura iMig2023 The CIMR

A huge day for lung cancer care in the UK. The announcement of a national screening programme will transform care and many thousands of lives will be saved.

Ethically approved #tissuebank samples demonstrated role of senescent macrophages in #lungcancer tumourigenesis in vivo. Such work demonstrates critical role that human tissue bank samples can play in #cancerresearch . Many thanks to generosity of donors.

We are delighted to share our new paper out today in Cancer Cell in collaboration with the laboratory of Prof Martinez-Barbera (UCL GOS Institute)!
